Larry and de exchanged nces and were a little taken aback after hearing what Severin said in the


    call. To hear Severin asking someone else instead of Draco Hall to protect his family meant that


    Severin probably did not think too highly of Draco Hall’s people.


    Moreover, the person on the other end of the line seemed to call Severin ‘master‘, which showed that


    Severin had apprentices. Judging from how powerful Severin was, one might deduce that his


    apprentice would notck much in the way of strength either.


    After Severin ended the call, he smiled faintly at the two of them and said, “Don’t jump to conclusions.


    It’s not that I look down on Draco Hall’s people. I’m just afraid that Draco Hall’s rtionship with me


    mighte to light!”


    “We understand, Boss!” Larry nodded, but he knew in his heart that whatever Severin’s considerations


    were for not asking them to send their men, it was just as clear that the people sent by Severin’s


    disciples might all be extraordinary individuals.


    A car had parked on the side of the road outside the vi where Severin lived. Inside the car was


    Easton and Lucy, who both trembled with fright after what they saw. They had heard from Jada that the


    Stones were going to give Severin a hard time, and the two of them immediately drove over simply for


    the sake of enjoying the schadenfreude and seeing how the Stones would deal with Severin.


    However, they were shocked to see Victor–the head of the Stones–kneel in the front yard with Jada


    and the Stones‘ bodyguards. The entire group was seen pping themselves and swearing never to


    trouble Severin and his family again.


    They initially thought that they were hallucinating, but they soon discovered that it was the head of


    Draco Hall whopelled the Stones to kneel. All of a sudden, they realized that Severin was probably


    connected with Larry and de somehow, and the rtionship with them might not be as simple as it


    seemed.


    The two of the stayed put in the car before and watched the Stones leave in despair.


    Easton gulped, took out a cigarette, and lit it, then took a few puffs before turning to Lucy in disbelief.


    “I’m not seeing things, am I? The people from Draco Hall didn’t even hesitate to offend the Stones just


    to help Severin. How does he have so many connections?”


    Lucy felt her head buzz at that moment too. She never imagined that the dirt–poor kid would be so


    close to someone like Larry and even be able to ask him for help.


    At that moment, she felt a little regretful as she stared at the luxurious vi not far away. A sense of


    helplessness soon ensued, for she would probably have been the one living in that vi if she had not


    chosen to be with Easton.


    Easton looked at Lucy’s dazed expression and nudged her slightly with his elbow. “What are you


    thinking about? You look like you’re in a daze?”


    That was when Lucy snapped back to her senses. “Oh, umm. What did you say again?”

    Easton felt like facepalming and had no choice but to repeat to her, “I asked you how is it that Severin


    knows the people from Draco Hall? I can’t shake off this feeling that Larry and the others treated him


    with a lot of respect.”


    Lucy was speechless. “I don’t know. Why are you asking me?”


    “Let’s go and visit Jada!” Easton decided. He started the car and slowly drove toward the Stones‘ vi.


    The two of them got off the car and headed in.


    “Curse you, Severin! I’m making it my mission to kill you! I am the respected head of the Stones, and


    yet you forced me to kneel to you! Utterly abominable!” A loud yell was heard as soon as Easton and


    Lucy reached the front yard.
